Question

Look at the plot for the formation of a molecular orbital for dihelium molecule (a molecule composed of two helium at 2 He nuclei Theoretical formation of di-helium orbitals Which statement about this diagram is not correct? The two wave functions for a bonding orbital and an anti-bonding orbital actually cancel each other out in the area between the two atoms. The positively charged nuclei repel each other due to their proton charge repulsions. O The electrons around each nucleus are distributed evenly O The top plot represents a bonding 1s orbital, while the bottom plot represents an anti- bonding 1s orbital.

Explanation / Answer

wrong statement is electrons around each nucleus distributed evenly

because no bond formation takes place between He atoms, No electrons are distributed around the nucleus
